Sidestreets and Energy
It is so exciting to see the outside turning into spring! How gorgeous things are right now. Soon the cherry trees will be blossoming around the tidal basin and I will have to make a trip to the festival. Gorgeous blossoms on a bright, breezy bank. D.C really is a lovely town.
Yesterday I went with my puppetry group to see the new Amazing Grace movie, which tells the story of Wilbur Force and his campaign to wnd slavery in Britain. We thought it would be appropriate since we're basing our performance piece on John Newton - the man who wrote the song "Amazing Grace" and was only a side story in this film. The movie was, unfortunately, not the best. But on the positive side the neighborhood the theatre was in was absolutely gorgeous. Very nice, reminded me of the town that Gilmore Girls is set in. The theatre was The Avalon Theatre. They only have two small screens and show old and independant movies. It was such a nice day to do that and a good time was had by all. I will have to revisit that neighborhood again.
I'm still working on finding an internship in NYC for the summer. One of my professors, Karalee Dawn, is helping me with this process. Her immense knowledge of the NYC business - from her many years at William Morris and other top notch companies - is such a great resource to have. And she's so nice and willing to help her students, like me. I will be applying with Richard Frankel Productions and any other agencies I can find. I would like to just do some kind of assistant position to get a feel for everything, then experience NYC in my free time. It would be wonderful. I hope that everything else works out!
I submitted to be an extra for National Treasure 2 a couple of days ago through Carlyn Davis Casting. They're filming a large scene here on our mall - a scene that is supposed to be UVa's quad. I found that very amusing. But I don't know who they're trying to fool. Any educated person will be able to differentiate this campus from UVa: the absence of the crackerbox suites, the missing rotunda, and the presence of turtles and red! Ah well, we'll see. I hope I'm selected. In a movie with Nicholas Cage. Fun.
Anyway, a MUCH needed spring break and trip to Florida is right around the corner! I cannot wait to board the plane and forget about things for a few days. Should be much fun.
